are willing to give us a couple of hours or more if you like during
this program. We have swimming, dancing, many different art
programs of your choice, jewelry making and last but not least

is very well organized by Francie and our local Delegation. We

==============================
It has been a wonderful and rewarding experience for me to watch
Caleb's grow after I started it .... years ago. I have always
thought that change was good and have always looked at options in
order to serve the wonderful customers I have served for so many
years and also to bring in new ones. Some of the options I am
currently considering would be catering, adding a lighter menu, or
even selling. If you are an interested buyer or know of some one
that would like an excellent established restaurant, please contact
me at
calebscafe@gmail.com

=========================================
The Baja Fisherman.com fishing report is up

sportfishing. The meeting starts at 9:00 a.m. in the main salón at
Hotel Playa Grande.
========================================
Dave Love has written a very comprehensive article on computer
security. I put it at the end of this BPE.
=====================================
QUESTIONS
a. Wanted, I need to borrow a Hi 8 STEREO camcorder. I have a mono
camcorder but I need to retrieve a stereo recording. If someone has
one put away in their closet in the states and can bring it down
with them in the fall I would be very thankful. My tape is potential
product of an old concert. Thanks... Ken E, kene3@mac.com
b. I've had an FM 3 for about four years now and find it far more
trouble than it is worth, having to renew it every year. Generally,
I'm not planning a trip anywhere near the expiration date, and it
takes them so long to process I have to leave before it's ready.
What a hassle! Does anyone know how I can go back to just being a
"tourist" and drop my FM3?Also, I've heard mixed reports on whether
I need to have one to own property in Baja, which I do. Last I
heard, I don't have to have an FM3 to own property. If anyone can
help me out with these questions I would sure appreciate it. Bill
c. Wanted, wine or booze cartons with the accordion paper divider
inside. Cheryl
bajaduck@bajaduck.com
d. Does anyone out there know of anyone that sells little piglets
or goats for a BBQ.???
Our # 141-0076 ask for Steven or Diana.. We live next to Spa Buena
Vista. Thanks..
e. Has anybody come up with a way to get rid of these darn, what I
call titsey, ants. You know, they're very small and they are erratic
in movement. I can't find they're home and they are everywhere in
the kitchen. Hormiga's revenge!!!
crazyconron@aol.com (Ron, me too! so if you get a good
answer, be sure and share on the BPE. Cheryl)
ANSWERS TO
QUESTION
a. From time to time, we old folks here in paradise find the need
for a wheel chair. For several years I have enjoyed being a "Craphound"
at the second hand stores aka "Secundos" in LaPaz and for a number
of years, I have seen wheelchairs there. One of them is called
Secunda Forjadores. There are several there on the main highway
across from the University and about 2 miles South of Soriana. The
Proprietaria is Maria Elena Lucero Garcia. Her phone number is 612
128 0705

helped keep our music scene alive. Thanks for all you do, Cheryl.
You too Dave.

PHOTO OF THE DAY SENT IN BY MAUREEN
STROUD
I remember this cactus well so I sent Dennis a note and here are
his comments.
My youngest son, Alex, started this with a couple of plates he found
and from then on they came in from all over, even had Yukon
Territories and Hawaii.
After we lost the Cardon cactus Alex took them to his ranch in Las
Animas close to San Jose. As you know this cactus was where Plaza
Fayla now is and was lost in a hurricane. In the first wind surfing
magazines used this photo with the caption, " When you see
this cactus you have reached the wind surfers paradise".

COMPUTER SECURITY BY DAVE LOVE
Here's my two cent's worth on email security for Windows users.
For starters: Never use Internet Explorer (IE) for your browser:
instead use Firefox, Opera, Safari or any other browser (but do not
delete IE). Also, change your Administrator name***. Use Avast!
for one of your on-line firewalls. Do not use Norton/Symantic
utilities (popular, but way memory hungry and below average on
detection).
1. Do not use 'Hotmail'; 'Yahoo! Mail'; 'Win Live Hotmail'; or 'AOL
Mail;' -- the notoriously insecure email services most targeted by
criminals and nine year olds.
2. Do use Gmail or a private-for-pay email service --- but not your
corporate email service if it is a major player.
3. Change email passwords* on a schedule: frequently for business,
banking; every four months for social; bi-annually for junk.
Different passwords for each address, por favor!
4. Have at least a minimum of two separate email addresses;
three is better; four is best: a.Your Social address that you give
to friends. b.The Business/banking addresses. c.The Junker which
is traded for access to websites. d.The Draft box, where the
address and password is mutually shared: Drafts are typed and read
by (no Sends) your heirs or lawyers. Remember: if your bank asks
for info, that is a Blinking Red Alert for a phish site: call them
back from a biz card or white page look-up, not a number given in
the email. Report phish sites to
http://www.us-cert.gov/nav/report_phishing.html
5. Set filters on junk or give-a-way addresses to automatically send
on to your friendly day to day address email, with key words in the
subject line, i.e., "dog sitting," "Pen reel," meaning, do not
publish your social address on public web sites, use your junk mail
address with filters instead.
6. Be aware. Look for the unusual. Never click on links in an
email from an unknown sender. Think STDs, computer style. When
registering for an online service, your email (junk) address is
often requested as a username. When asked for a password, don't
inadvertently give the password to your email address; make up a
<new> password for the service. On your part, give a heads up to
your friends in the subj. line: "link inside to LATimes article on
Venice street fashion"
7. Social sites, FaceBook, Linkedin, etc., are fertile fields mined
by criminals searching for email addresses, birthdays, mother's
maiden name, etc. Avoid them.
8. Erase your cookies and history, especially after banking, from
FireFox and other non-IE browsers. This can be easily set on
automatic in the Menu Bar> tools> options> security> section.
Include Temp(orary) and Recent files for deletion.
9. Don't keep a record of your passwords on your hard disk**.
Good news/bad news if you get raided: The good news is that if
you are lucky, your email will merely become a vendor of sex aids or
a referral to sex sites; no biggy. Or lose a few hundred or
thousand dollars from your savings account. More
unfortunately, if you should show up on a list of the Patriot Act:
well, sorry, no more convenient flying between here and the
States; kids and grand children may be red-flagged, too. And no;
can't remove or delete names from those computers, at least so far.
*---Easy password recipes (12+ characters): My first pass word,
back in the age of innocence, was "dgtm!", from 'Dave, Go To
Mexico!', a mantra I had been repeating to myself mentally for
years. Longer passwords can be built using similarly remembered
phrases, the older the better, extracting a letter from each word,
and adding numbers connected to those events. For example,
'Hyocdstd365dia!', from 'Harold, you old coot don't slam the door
365, durn it all!' Phrases are easier to remember than their
acronyms, and are easily typed. They can be crafted from snippets
from plays or movies: "Fmdidgad@$#%&," from Clark Gable's famous
delivery in GWTW (don't use this one; everyone knows it), or old
songs. Notice that superscripts are allowable, which raise the
security bar.
**---Especially, one's banking codes, pws and pins must not be
listed in any email address books, or in the computer. List them
down on a piece of paper, unlabeled, and hide it in your house, not
online (to date, major banks, the FBI, CIA, Pentagon and various
hospitals have been hacked, as well as computer security services
and credit trackers). A copy of the most important goes into your
safe deposit box.
***---Changing Administrator account name; the basic computer
security step: > Start> run> type "control [space] userpasswords2">
OK> Users tab> Administrator under User Name> Properties button>
type your new user name in the User name box [Do not type into or
change the Full Name box (important)!]> OK> OK. Note that the
Administrator account name is by default named 'administrator' by
WindowsXP, hence making easy access for hackers. The Administrator
account is only visible later in Safe Mode. Keep a record of this
new Administrator account name together with your passwords; don't
lose it. For WinVista or 7, the initial 'run' may vary.
Hope this helps, ___ Dave Love

"security" in the subject line.
